In this powerful episode of the Yes, We Can! Podcast, Courtney shares her heartbreaking story of losing her husband — while four months pregnant and raising two young boys.

What started as a normal Saturday morning ended in unimaginable loss when her healthy husband suffered a sudden heart attack after a soccer game. Courtney opens up about receiving the knock on the door, telling her children their dad wasn’t coming home, navigating pregnancy through grief, and rebuilding life as a young widow.

If you or someone you love is walking through grief, especially widowhood, this conversation is honest, raw, faith-filled, and full of hope.

You are not alone.

In this powerful episode of Yes, We Can!, Kira Andersen sits down with Angie Hess, General Manager of Spas & More.

Angie shares her deeply personal journey through divorce, emotional abuse, financial collapse, chronic autoimmune illness, felony charges, and losing her mother to cancer. At her lowest point, she was battling depression, eviction, health crises, and raising two kids alone.

But Angie refused to stay there.

Through faith, counseling, personal accountability, health coaching, and relentless determination, she rebuilt her life — stepping into leadership in her family’s business, losing over 100 pounds, repairing relationships, and prioritizing mental and physical wellness.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, defeated, or overwhelmed by life — this conversation is proof that you can come back stronger.

In this episode of Yes We Can, Kira sits down with Andrew Murray for an honest and unconventional conversation about cancer, identity, and choosing your own path through healing.

Andrew shares how a delayed diagnosis led to advanced testicular cancer at just 24 years old, the shock of surgery and chemotherapy, and why he wrestled deeply with fear, authority, and medical decisions along the way. From holistic healing attempts to life-altering choices, this episode explores autonomy, faith, second opinions, and what it means to fight for your life on your own terms.

This is a raw, thought-provoking episode about listening to your body, advocating for yourself, and redefining strength in the face of uncertainty.
